Tonight was the super-special, ultra-VIP screening of 15 MINUTES (’til last call) at CiRCA. In honour of Andy Warhol and his 15 minutes of fame prediction, I made my very own homage to his Campbell’s soup can, but with my own “Pärty MÖnster” beer in homage to this new show.

I’ve never seen a Rei Kawakubo garment up close, so I had to check out her Comme des Garçons stuff for H&M. She may not be one of my all-time favourite designers since she’s so intellectual and stuff, but she is pretty groundbreaking.

Who knew eco-fashion could be so chic?
I spent my entire Monday pondering pleasantly sustainable surprises from a Saturday trip to the Sustainable Style Show and Green Gala, organized by Kelly Drennan from Fashion Takes Action. I spoke with the marvellous Miss Drennan and super-designer Sonja den Elzen from Thieves, who shared some Eco-Fashion Rules.

Oh dear. It seems as though the entire world is talking about this recession-thing. Personally, I cannot understand what all the fuss is about since everyone requires clothing.
